Like a French, expensive Darren Powell?

I suppose you only really have to worry about re-sale value if you aren't flush with cash.

He doesn't fit our type of buy but he's in a fairly unique situation: He's available, he (by all accounts) wants to stay in the Prem and we have a vacant spot in the middle of our defence. He's going to cost some serious coin, but we can offset that against any ££'s we get from Jose leaving.

@ed_aarons: Everton agree £10.4m fee for Standard Liège striker Ishak Belfodil https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jan/11/everton-ishak-belfodil-standard-liege

You would have thought Everton was the more attractive move & possibly bigger payers (Should his other 2 options be West Ham / Palace) Here's hoping a Chinese club come calling with no morals, £13m cash, Jose gets his big contract and all ends well for all parties.

I loved playing the 2 midfielder's. I really wanted us to sign Gueye from Villa in the summer.

Martina is probably available for around £1m, TBF.

@TeleFootball: Tottenham's Tom Carroll linked with £8million move to Swansea City #THFC #SCAFC http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/01/11/tottenhams-tom-carroll-linked-8-million-move-swansea-city/

Probably true. Their opening bids for players have been laughable so far.

I half expected him to leave on loan this window. Did really well for Barnsley last season, then the story was Puel rated him so kept him in-house but are barely featured. Think he's out of contract in the summer too.

Ashley Williams to Everton for £12m. (Just to MLG-proof this post, he was 31 at the time, but was 32 a few days afterwards )

We want £13m. I reckon we will take around £10m.

@SkyKaveh: Sky in Italy: Atalanta have turned down £15m Everton bid for midfielder Franck Kessié. They say Chelsea also interested

West Ham love keeping their business quiet don't they?

I'd forgotten Everton paid £12m for 32 year old Ashley Williams. I reckon they would go to £10m for Fonte. No surprise they've finally agreed a fee with Utd for Morgan after Koeman gave the board a rocket the other day.

Schneiderlin & Gueye is a very nice midfield pairing.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/01/10/morgan-schneiderlin-set-finalise-22m-move-man-utd-everton/?WT.mc_id=tmg_share_tw ^ Any chance of a sell-on fee?

I would be much happier if he goes to China.

Well, between the Liverpool & French media, his destination probably won't stay quiet for long.

Lets hope we lock-in one of those "becomes permanent if he plays 15+ games" clauses to avoid the Toby scenario.
